A central router is connected to four other routers. Each of the four routers has a LAN that is connected to it. Each LAN has a different number of hosts. Refer to the exhibit. How many broadcast domains are displayed?

8

converged

A __________ network is one that uses the same infrastructure to carry voice, data, and video signals.

fixed configuration

A local law firm is redesigning the company network so that all 20 employees can be connected to a LAN and to the Internet. The law firm would prefer a low cost and easy solution for the project. What type of switch should be selected?

-represents the network edge -provides network access to the user

Functions of the access layer:

-provides high-speed backbone connectivity -functions as an aggregator for all the campus blocks

Functions of the core layer:

-ingress port -destination MAC address

What two criteria are used by a Cisco LAN switch to decide how to forward Ethernet frames? (Choose two.)

switch

Which network device can be used to eliminate collisions on an Ethernet network?

hierarchical

facilitates understanding the role of each device at every tier, simplifies deployment, operation, management, and reduces fault domains at every tier

resiliency

satisfies user expectations for keeping the network always on

Refer to the exhibit. Consider that the main power has just been restored. PC3 issues a broadcast IPv4 DHCP request. To which port will SW1 forward this request?​

to Fa0/1, Fa0/2, and Fa0/3 only

-simpler deployment for additional switch equipment -easier to provide redundant links to ensure higher availability

A network designer must provide a rationale to a customer for a design which will move an enterprise from a flat network topology to a hierarchical network topology. Which two features of the hierarchical design make it the better choice?

Segment the LAN into smaller LANs and route between them.

A small publishing company has a network design such that when a broadcast is sent on the LAN, 200 devices receive the transmitted broadcast. How can the network administrator reduce the number of devices that receive broadcast traffic?

-appropriated for high performance computing applications -forwarding process can begin after receiving the destination address -may forward invalid frames

Characteristic of cut-through forwarding:

-error checking before forwarding -forwarding process only begins after receiving the entire frame -only forwards valid frames

Characteristic of store-and-forward forwarding:

-implements network access policy -establishes Layer 3 routing boundaries

Functions of the distribution layer:

PCA attaches to SW1 through port Fa0/1. PCB attaches to SW1 through port Fa0/2. The Fa0/23 port of SW1 attaches to the Fa0/24 port of SW2. PCc attaches to SW2 through port Fa0/3. PCD attaches to SW2 through port Fa0/4. Refer to the exhibit. How is a frame sent from PCA forwarded to PCC if the MAC address table on switch SW1 is empty?

SW1 floods the frame on all ports on the switch, excluding the interconnected port through which the frame entered the switch

-need for fewer power outlets -increased scalability

What are two advantages of modular switches over fixed-configuration switches? (Choose two.)

-to enhance user bandwidth -to isolate traffic between segments

What are two reasons a network administrator would segment a network with a Layer 2 switch? (Choose two.)

the number of available ports

What does the term "port density" represent for an Ethernet switch?

aggregating Layer 3 routing boundaries

What is a basic function of the Cisco Borderless Architecture distribution layer?

a combination of the functionality of the distribution and core layers

What is a collapsed core in a network design?

distribution and core layers collapsed into one tier, and the access layer on a separate tier

What is a definition of a two-tier LAN network design?

determines which interface is used to forward a frame based on the destination MAC address

What is one function of a Layer 2 switch?

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF

What is the destination address in the header of a broadcast frame?

router

Which network device can serve as a boundary to divide a Layer 2 broadcast domain?

a high port density switch

Which solution would help a college alleviate network congestion due to collisions?

The broadcast domain expands to all switches

Which statement describes a result after multiple Cisco LAN switches are interconnected?

-user data traffic -VoIP phone traffic

Which two previously independent technologies should a network administrator attempt to combine after choosing to upgrade to a converged network infrastructure? (Choose two.)

source MAC address

Which type of address does a switch use to build the MAC address table?

flexibility

allows intelligent traffic load sharing by using all network resources

modularity

allows seamless network expansion and integrated service enablement on an on-demand basis
